"Losing my child is the most difficult thing I have ever had to face. If there is any brightness in this experience, it is that I have his pictures which are simply cherished. " - Kristi Sagrillo
Q. What is Sweetest Keepsakes?
A. Sweetest Keepsakes is a
digital photo retouching service available to all families who
have lost a child to stillbirth, complications due to prematurity, or
other causes shortly after birth. As so many parents who have lost a
child under these circumstances can attest, it is sometimes difficult
to share our precious photos of our babies for fear they will not be
viewed with sensitivity, care, and understanding. Sweetest Keepsakes
offers the ability to have your child's photos enhanced to correct
discoloration and other issues that do not represent the child that you
remember and hold dear to your heart.
Q. How can I get my photos retouched?

in jpg format. Please include your name, address, and phone number in

as possible and not “made up”. For best results, higher resolution
files provide the best results. The quality of the original image will
impact the possible end results. It may not be possible to improve all
images.
- By Postal Mail: You may also
send the original photo(s) to me. Select the image(s) that are the most
pleasing to you, are the sharpest, and have the greatest amount of
detail. Include your name, address, phone number, and email address.
Your photos will be returned to you. Mail your photos to:
